The GDS which is controlled and monitored by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System consists of facilities and pipelines networked together for the transmission as well as distribution of the gas to various customers including Qatar Petroleum’s internal consumptions. The advancement of technology has rendered the need to replace the existing network to improve reliability and performance of the GDS Stations.

3W Networks expertise in communication backbone systems will upgrade and integrate the existing Synchronous Data Hierarchy (SDH) System to a powerful telecommunication network using the most advanced SDH Node to support circuit bandwidth requirements for telecommunications, SAS/SCADA and LAN/WAN data connectivity systems.

“We are delighted to implement the telecom upgrade of this project and continue delivering our first-rate services to Qatar Petroleum. The SCADA Networks of the GDS stations will have the latest state-of-the-art telecommunication backbone infrastructures to enhance its overall system performance and to address the demands of the GDS facilities and pipelines.” said Walid Gamali, Chief Executive Officer of 3W Networks.
